The other day I mentioned that David King added the Meebo widget to the catalog. It displays when a patron searches and gets no results. The Shifted Librarian, Jenny Levine, tell us that other libraries such as the University of Calgary, McMaster and Baylor are using Meebo as well.

If you are interested in adding Meebo into your catalog or other areas it is as easy as copying and pasting the code. According to Jenny, you "just go to MeeboMe, create a widget, copy the code they give you, and paste it where you want the chat box to appear on the page."

So if you are a medical library and you have experimented with Meebo, feel free to comment and share how you implemented it and your experiences.
